  1. Hey Louie, did you ever figure out how to get your Logitech headphones to get full options like equalizer on G Hub on Mac OS?

  2. I use G733s and they are amazing. Best bang for the buck wireless headphones ever. I hate wired headphones and avoid them at all costs. Only downside is that if you wear glasses, apparently the RGB is annoying. Also the software is very okayish.
  3. Hi there, Just recently, my "traveling" keyboard (Apple Wireless Keyboard, I use it with a MacBook Pro) died (I mostly used it when I'd go to my parent's farm to work for a couple months, then go back home - I tend to leave it there). I mostly use it with a MacBook Pro, although I'm considering saving up for a gaming laptop (probably a Lenovo Legion) or building another PC. The keyboard that I use most of the time is a Logitech G915 TKL with linear switches. I absolutely love it. I want a similar keyboard for traveling (I can't afford to travel with my G915 TKL - it's too precious to me). I want low profile (if possible) linear keys, and either a TKL or 60% layout. Doesn't really matter if it's wireless or wired. I just want the keyboard to feel good (as similar to the G915 TKL as possible, if possible), and be somewhat reliable. I found a Cooler Master SK630 keyboard which was LP, TKL, and wired, but the reviews said that it had bad QC and also that the keys felt like they hand sand in them and that sometimes it came warped in the packaging. My budget is about $100-160, although if there is one which fits my needs perfectly, I'd consider going over that budget.
  4. Mouse to Razer Basilisk Ultimate Keyboard to Logitech G915 TKL Get some headphones - I'd recommend Logitech G733 if you don't wear glasses
  5. I'd do one of these: Upgrade power supply to a more reliable unit from Seasonic or Phanteks Upgrade storage to a faster SSD (something 3000Mbit/s+), like a WD Black SN750 or Crucial P5. Upgrade CPU to a 3600X if possible Upgrade to higher end ATX motherboard
  6. I'm not saying I want a gaming chair. I'd want a chair and I would use it for gaming and doing other stuff on my computer. I'm saying I'd be fine if it is a gaming chair or looks like one.
  7. Quick note (for moderators): If this isn't the right part of the forum to ask this question on, please don't ban me, please tell me where to ask this question, as this seemed to be the most appropriate spot to me to post this. Hi there, I've been looking for a new chair for my desk (which would be for at home). I currently have a $200 (CAD) Staples office chair, and would like something better. I'm looking for something around $300-400 (CAD). I'd prefer an ergo chair or something like that but I'm totally fine with a gaming chair (ideally I'd get something from Mavix or the Herman Miller Embody chair, but those are too expensive). I want something comfortable, reliable, and good quality, and would like suggestions. Preferably it would be something from within Canada, or relatively cheap shipping to Canada. I'm in no rush for getting one, I'd just like to have one by mid-late July.
  8. What are your peripherals? Your PC looks pretty good. Maybe you could upgrade the cooler to a Noctua NH-U12s Chromax.
  9. Hana sushi in Abbotsford (near Highstreet, or Ra Sushi if you are on the other side of Abbotsford) and Waka sushi (near Sportsplex and the Cineplex) in Walnut Grove/Langley area are some great sushi restaurants Also Jim's Pizza which is on 88th ave and between 204th and 202nd (near an RBC and Subway) is the best pizza place in Langley.
  10. Get a Seasonic, EVGA or Corsair if you don't want your PC to blow up or catch fire.
  11. I'd recommend steering away from that RM850i and going for something like a Seasonic GX-850 or maybe an EVGA 850 G5. (The reason why is because I've found CWT power supplies aren't very reliable, for example, I had an RM850x fail on me about a week ago)
  12. I contacted Corsair a couple days ago and am waiting for a response
  13. It was an RM850x I got just over a year ago. I'm now expecting a Phanteks AMP 550W to come today to replace it and then maybe order a Seasonic GX-850 to replace that and make a secondary system with the Phanteks one.
  14. I'd personally avoid Corsair because I had one fail on me today.
  15. I was just thinking of the PSU because one died on me this morning.
